Oceanside Inn & Suites
Room was clean, beds were comfy, and it was conveniently close to the beach and nearby bars and restaurants. The beds are separated into two rooms which is cool. The sink was in one room and the toilet and shower are in the other, kinda funny but still a great place to stay.

DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego - Del Mar
We had a great stay at the Doubletree. My only recommendation is for the hotel provided toiletries to be restocked. There was none available in the room that we stayed at, and also the cleanliness of the restroom can be kept up a little bit more. Otherwise it was a good stay.

The Seabird Ocean Resort & Spa, Part of Destination Hotel by Hyatt
Honestly, everything stood out. From the super friendly and attentive staff to the amazing attention to detail in every space of the hotel, to the most comfortable, well-appointed room I’ve stayed in in recent memory. The whole hotel is a dream! I can’t wait to come back when I’m not on a work trip ...
